Tropicalité, l’île et l’exote is a silent French/English subtitled video produced with the support of CIAP-Île de Vassivière in the context of a 3-month long residency on the artificial island of Vassivière (France). While exploring questions relating to empowerment and decoloniality —of one’s body, one’s territory— and concepts such as otherness, exoticism and subjectivity, the film looks jointly at the symbolic figure of the island and the body as typical spaces to be colonised as well as possible sites of resistance.
